BACK MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL LIBRARY 67th ANNUAL ANTIQUE AND NEW GOODS AUCTION


July 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th

96 Huntsville Road

Dallas, PA 18612


The grounds and auction preview will open this year at 5:00pm, each day of the auction. Bidding will begin at 6:00pm.



AUCTION VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Volunteers of all ages (13 and up) have an opportunity to support the library. We have a wide choice of jobs (no skill required) and hours available.

SET UP: Sunday, July 7th through Tuesday, July 10th.
Tasks include: Moving items to the sales tents, arranging merchandise, and hanging banners. Set up hours will be mostly during the day.

AUCTION: Thursday, July 11th through Sunday, July 14th.
Tasks include: Staffing booths, keeping the grounds clean, and helping with directing traffic in parking areas (adults only - at the satellite lot at the Dallas Shopping center). We are in need of some strong individuals during the auction to help move larger items to the auction stage and to the pickup area, where buyers can load their purchases into their vehicles. Auction hours are 5pm to 11pm daily.

POST AUCTION CLEANUP: Monday morning, July 15th.
Clean-up is the morning on the day following the auction. The tents will be removed by the rental company, but we need to remove display tables, clear trash, and be sure the grounds are ready for the farmers market that takes place the following weekend. This is a one day process and the more people we have to help the easier and quicker the process. Hours will be late morning to early afternoon.

If you belong to an organization please consider becoming a “Volunteer Team” for a day. Invite your family, friends and neighbors to join you, its fun and a great way to support our community.

To volunteer or for more information call the library at 675-1182.
